Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, August 2007 – Land

Many vacations promise to be the "trip of a lifetime," but this one really was. We spent ten days aboard Peter Hughes' Sky Dancer in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador. Every day brought a new experience, from walking on the beach with marine iguanas to swimming alongside giant whale sharks. This album includes our land-based photos, but much of our time was spent underwater – see those photos here. We also have a short video clip of a just-born sea lion pup posted here (make sure the sound's turned up!).
